Show me just one Catholic bishop who will speak up against coveting your neighbors’ goods. That is why Catholics ignored the Bishops on abortion. They know abortion is wrong but overlooked the Dems on that point because those same politicians pandered to their covetousness. Same for protestants and evangelical pastors, leaders and activists. American politics and government at all levels is driven by government-mediated coveting. Until the Church takes a stand against this we can expect to sink deeper and deper into socialism and, oh yeah, abortion.
The funny (okay, not so funny) thing is that the fedgov is about to covet many of our incomes to the point where we can no longer tithe. And I can’t see Hussein spreading the wealth to the Catholic Church.
I think your post is the wisest one that I've received in the last two days. There are nine other commandments besides "you shall not kill", and I don't think I've heard a single sermon on the other nine in this last election cycle.
